GOSSIP ABOUT MEN.

1t is said the police commission scheme, as
pushed through, was in the interest solely of
VIM Bracket, who is being pushed for chief
of police. 1t is hardly likely that this is so.
for VIM Bracket had one special bill, and
would scarcely burden himself with another.
Still, he has held Office for over two months,
and that is good while.
S. L. Olsen is being mentioned in connec-
ton with one of the Repu bican places on the
police commission. The Scandinavians are
DESTROYS of having one OF their nationality OIL
the board, as their due, and Olsen, among
others, is mentioned.
Mayor Ames is confident the people, with
out regard to party, will rise up at the polls
next month and rebuke the Republican bosses
who have deprived them of their rights by
uncalled-for Legislation. "Aud if the people
do get into power in the legislature" he
added, Lord help these Republican usurp-
ers.''
Sent in by q Citizen-People of Minneapolis
have been somewhat at q loss to account for
the little boomlets that have appeared edi-
torily in the Tribune regarding the remark
able activity in Duluth real estate. 1t has
been the special boast of the morning dupli-
cate that it is the champion of Minneapolis
first last and all the time, against all Corners.
The other papers of the city have been slight
ingly referred to as "vOicing ST. Paul inter-
ests," and ''furthering the prosperity of st.
Paul at the expense of Minneapolis. The
editor OF the Tribune has lost no opportunity,
both through the columns of his paper and in
his private capacity to let the dear public
know how entirely Minneapolis welfare was
the one object OF his life. He has preached
it at the board Of trade, it has been the bur-
den of his song in the after-dinner speech es
for which he is noted" Minneapolis enterprise
and Minneapolis dirt have been his hobby.
The few people of the city who have regarded
him as a sincere man have found much to
commend in this championship of their city,
and it has compensated for many of the glar-
ing defects of paper devoted exclusively
to Minneapolis interests" They have been
quite unable, as has the public generally, to
understan this sudden interest in the lake
town. 1t is easily accounted for, however
Hearing that few outlets were being sold
there, the shrewd editor of the Tribune in
vested quite freely in Duluth dirt, and that
little action opened his eyes to the beauties
Of that thriving city. He forgot his role of
champion of Minneapolis interests in his
overmasteripg desire to make hay in the
| splendor of the Duluth boom, and so his
| paper is made to sing the glories of an out

THE LIBRARY BOARD
Work im Connection With
the New Building.

The library board met yesterday after
noon with all members except President
Northrup present, and informally talked
over the affairs of the library. the new
building, etc. Herbert Putnam, the libra
ran, reported the completion Of the work
for which he visited the East. Of the pur-
chase lists but two sections have been SUBJ
mitted to the library committee. the remain
der to be sent in this week. The lists COM
prise between nine and ten thousand
volumes, whose cost approximate $50. 600.
OF this sum the Athen9um will be able to
contribute from the Spencer fund about
IS, 900. the balance he hoped to see appro-
priated from this years tax. 1t this is done
the books can be purchased and catalOgued
by next fall, so as to be placed in the build
ing by January. by which time the first
floor will probably be completed.
f. NJ. johnson, secretary of the board,
reported the situation to be that the build

ing will cost in round figures $50 900. The
available funds amounting to $3.50. 600, viz:
tax levy $50, 900. In order to provide for
contingencies it was decided to call upon
subscribers for 25 per cent. of the amount
of the subscriptions. Mayor AmeS wanted
provision to be made so that contractors
will be able to pay their men weekly. and
suggested the IS per cent. should be adj
vanced upon the contracts, vouchers signed
by the architects to be furnished. 1t was
thought. however, that the board could adj
vance sufficient amounts from month to
month so as to enable the contractors to
pay their help weekly. and the mayor with
drew his motion. Prof Oftedal suggested

class of reading such as would be desired
by the ordinary reader. Mayor Ames
thought this inadvisable for the present.

agencies could be established in different
portions of the city, such as exist in Boston.
No action was taken and the board adj

WHILE The editor of the Tribune, If he has
any desire to ever assume sincerity, should
profit by the example OF leading Minneap-

building of the South Side bridges, though
knowing that they greatly increased the value

the business men Of the city are after the
editor who owns Duluth dirt, and 1t is quite
possible he will come to appre ciate the beauty
of consistency.

incoming aldermen from his baiiwick, the
Fifth, should come from the South end, in
which event his own reelection will be i'm

Ed ]. Davenport, clerk of the district court,
is credited with being tho shrewdest politician
in the county, but his latest move lifts him
up higher still. He has succeeded in run
ming through the legislature ut least two
woodchuck bills, the operation of which will
inure considerably to his financial benefit.
One of them gives him l per cent. of all

THE POLITICAL CALDRON.

City Clerk Matthews returned from St. Paul
yesterday laden with the acts of the last
legislature that bear on Minneapolis and
Hennepin county. Some of the most i'm
portant. including rhe police commission bill
and the Whiteman election law, he will not
obtain until this morning. There was little
gossip yesterdayto. the effect that the police
commission bill had been lost or mlslald, but
Selah swearS he saw it in the possession
of the secretary of state, which settles it.
The redistricting bill changes matters some
what, as it provides for thirty-six aldermen
for the next council, giving every ward three
but the Tenth, Twelfth and Thirteenth, which
have two each. This called for an overhaul
ing of the estimates, and the Democrats yes
terday figured that the work they could do
would be to tie in the council, while it was
probable they would get majority Of two.
Their figures were as follows, in the first

others. who were joined later by the re.
Sonhtable Col. King. Of course the first
subject was the legislature. Said Mr..

bad after all; the temperance legislation

THEY WILL UNITE.
The Two Medical Societies will
Pool Their Issues.

A mass meeting of the members of the
Hennepin County Medical society and the
Society of Physicians and Surgeons was
held at the Nicollet house last night for the
purpose of formulating plans for union of
the two organizations. DR.. Skinner was
made chairman and DR.. Gates secretary. A
very general discussion of the whole
subject was had, in which many partici-
pated. An expression of the views of the
doctors present resulted in SO votes III favor
of uniting and only 2 against it. A resolu-
ton, recommending each society to appoint
a conference committee, who shall report
back plan of union, was passed, and the
meeting adjourned. There is but little
doubt that the two societies will unite
and their combined strength will result in
greater benefit to the membership.

usual at the Orthodox ministers meeting

Peoples Days at the Panorama.

''We are going to give the people who
who have been clamoring for a chance to
see the Battle of Atlanta panorama for %
CENTS" said Manager Mind, "a chance to do
so in the next two or three days at that
price. The artists have been in Europe
since the picture was put i'll place and saw
all of the best cycloraMas abroad, and be-
came acquainted with a number of new
ideas and illusions. They are going to give
us the benefit of their observation, and the
panorama will be closed for week or two
while these changes and improvements are
being made. This work will be commenced
probably on Friday, and possibly not until
Monday next. Until it is commenced the
people who want to see the panorama as it
now is, with the crowd which mayspossibly
follow this announcement, can do so for %
cents for adults and 10 cents for children.
When we reopen it will be at the old figure.
and that price will be maintained. There
will be only three or four days at the %
cents rate at most, and people who want to
avail themselves of it should come early in
the day."

Ninth ward is given two to one to the Repub-

that the next council, in any event, will be
very close and u hard struggle is on the
